Farrukhsiyar’s deposition, when he fought in the streets on his master’s 
behalf, and again at the time when he took the side of Qutbu-l-mulk, 
after the murder of Husain ‘ All Khan. When Muhammad Shah 
• ■ —— 
pardoned him, it was proposed to take away his title of Ghalib Jang, 
as it liad been granted to a brother of Lutf-ullah Khan, Sadiq. Grhaziu- 
d-din Khan made loud objection, and claimed that, as both he and the 
new “ Conqueror in War ” were present, they should fight it out in 
single combat, the victor becoming in both senses “ Ghalib-i-jang.” The 
emperor smiled and left him in undisturbed possession. He died on 
the 12th Safar, 1139 H., (8th October, 1726), at the age of sixty-three 
(lunar) years. 1 
10. Mir Jumlah. 
The name of this man, a native of Samarqand in Turan, was 
‘ Ubaid-ullah, 2 son of Mir Muhammad Wafa, and he was born about 
the year 1081 H., 1670-J. Early in life he abandoned bis native country 
and repaired to Hindustan, where lie arrived in the reign of ‘ Alamgir. 
He obtained in time the post of Qazi at Jahangirnagar Dhakah in subah 
Bengal, and finally the same office at ‘ Azimabad Patnah in subah 
Bihar. He seems to have wormed himself into the confidence of Prince 
‘Azimu-sh-shan, then Governor of Bengal and Bihar, and to have ob¬ 
tained complete control over the mind of his second son, Earrukhsiyar. 
He was with Prince ‘Azimu-sh-shan at Lah5r, and as we have already 
stated, was making his way eastwards to Farruklisiyar when he met 
and joined that prince at Agrah. He had secured himself a very 
favourable reception by his successful negociations with the Turani 
leaders in Jahandar Shah’s army. Erom this time his name will recur 
frequently in our narrative. Plis titles were first Shari‘at-ullah Khan, 
then Tbad-ullah Khan, Bahadur, Muzaffar Jang, and finally Muta‘midu- 
-1-mulk, Mu‘azzam Khan, Khan Kbanan, Bahadur, Muzaffar Jang, Mir 
Jumlah, Tarkhani, Sultani. He is described by one writer as a man 
who, in spite of his great learning, was blind to the essential meaning 
of things. 3 
11 . Nizamu-l-mdlk. 
Perhaps the most important person in the group of men that rose 
into the very first rank upon Farrukhsiyar’s accession, was Uizamu- 
-1-mulk, now a man of nearly forty-three (lunar) years of age, who
